He Was Captured in Hender son County Tuesday. SAID HE WAS INNOCENT. Tliu Allu|{ed AaaitUiint of Mrs. Wilson- Who Wa* Horribly (jaalied by a HtirKlar in Junu Jackaou Does Not Muein to be the Man, hr He Has Not a hear on Him. The following is taken fri m the Lincoln Journal aad is reproduced for the becauso of its local interest. Andrew .Sherman Jackson, the long sought for supposed assailant of Mrs. Ifettie Wilson, was arrested in Hen derson county Tueeduy night by H. N\ Lamb. Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Oiine received a telegram from Lamb informing him that he had lodged him in jail ut Henderson. Sneriff Cline left on Cue Narrow (iauge via. Gastonia. He returned last night with Jackson, who was safely loged in jail. Mr. Lamb, the capturer, says that Jackson is a relative of the Sheriff at Henderson county and of the police man of Hendersonville; that he has been living openly and working in Hendersonville for more than a month. About two weeks ago news that a reward had been offered for bis arrest reached Henderson and earning that they were after him, Jackson disappeared, hiding in Hie mountains. This morning a Journal reporter nterviewed Jackson in jail. He wao seated upon a pallet on the floor of the cell eating his breakfast. He tias an intelligent, open face and ulked freely, lie protested his inno- ;ence. He said that lie went to Gaff ney, 8. C., May 20th (he had pre viously told Sheriff Cline that he went there on May 24th) and remained Ihere, boarding with one Beauregard jilenn, until June 14th, when he left, end that between those dates he wus never outside the incoporate limits jf the town. He declared that on June 2nd, (the date of the crime with which he is charged) he was sick w ith mills and was attended by a Hr. Set- tlemeyer. He said that lie started here to surrender himself, but at Shelby a “Mr. Goins” told him tliat 150 men with bloodhounds were searching for him and he would be lynched if he surrendered. Goins idvised him to remain away until the excitement died out, then give him- -eif up. He“ also says that on the 15'h of August he wrote to Mrs. Wil son’s father (Foushee) at Cherryville, that lie was going to surrender himself and prove his innocence. It is u pretty well establisJied fact that iho feliow who did the cutting was pretty well carved up with his own razor which was taken from him by Mrs. J oushee. This is established iy Mrs. Foushee’s own testimony t.nd by the fact that the bed of leaves on which the bui'giac rested was soak ed with blond, ard a blood-soaked suspender was found in it, showing tliat he bad been badly cut. Wounds that wouid cause such loss of blood vv u d leave scars. Jackson unhesitatingly complied with The Journal man's riijueet and rerunveu lii' shirt. J here was nT a knife scar anywhere on arms or body. lit:.- would ;nui< ati- ilia* Jackson is not, after ail, the man wanted. (jar readers will renmuibcr that about i o’clock on Sunday morning. June .‘>rd, last, some one broke in ,i the dwelling of Mrs. Mary 8troup, near Iron Station, anti with a razor cut in a most humble manner, Mrs. liettie Wilsoa, the grand-daughter of Mrs. Stroup, and inflicUd si got in juries on Airs. Wits in s babe and aiiiiiipltd to cut her mother. -Mis JAmshee, who wus sleeping with in r. After a desperate struggle in the darkness Mrs. Foushee wrested the razor from her assailant and used it on him. In escaping the fellow jumped through a window and is 'op posed to have been furtlier Injured. A bed of leaves upon which belay, not far from the scene of the trim; wus soaked in blood and a suspender in it was also blood-soaked. The fel low who did the cutting was evidently badly cut himself. Suspicion pointed to Jack-on be cause he had been arrested on a war rant sworn out by Mrs. W ilaon charg ing him with bigamy, he having mar ried her younger sister having a wife already living in South Carolina Ever since then Jackson lias been sought for, and had he been caught, he would have been Ij jnched. The Governor offered $2lMJ reward for the apprehension of the guilty person. Mrs. Wilson lay for weeks between life and death, but finally recovered Sheriff Gline had never for u mo ment relaxed his efforts to find Jack- sou and it was his unremitting work that led up to his arrest. During the two weeks that he has been hiding in the mountains Jack- son lias become greatly emaciated uud is very weak. He is ijuile cheer ful and is confident that he can con clusively prive his absolute Inno cence. (juu'l rruft|M<'t».

Judge Tolleson Kirby, aged 88 years, died at the home of his son, Mr. J. T. Kirby, Sr., in the third dis trict, on lust Sunday morning. In his death Coweta loses a venerable and estimable citizen, and another land-mark is gone. A short time ago he fell in his room and sustained injuries, from the shock and effects of which, ow ing to his advanced aged, he was not able to recover. Judge Kirby lias two sons surviving him, Mr. J. T. Iv.rby, Sr., of this county, and Mr. Moses Kirby, of LuGrange. Our fellow-townsman, .Mr. Jos. T. Kirby, is his grandson. A fiieud and intimate acquaintance of Judge Kirby pays the following beautiful tribute to his memory: “On a beautiful Sabbath morning, when the sun in full tilulger.ee was giving light and fife to this earthly abode, twas then that the angel of light caught up from earth and bore to realms on high the spirit of our beloved friend. He had sown many seeds of kindness. Let us hope that they have germinated and are now growing t n ! bringing forth fruit that makes many lives happier ai.d many hearts to rejoice. With an op*-n hand he gave,—no one doubted his goodness of heart, no one doubted bis honesty of purpose. Let his kindred and friends rejoice;—a hap pier home is his. Ho has gene to that beautiful city above, and rests, we trust, in the presence of the Crucified One.” The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. F. J. Amis, at the First Baptist church, on Monday morning last, after which the remains were taken in charge by the Masonic fra ternity and buried with honors in Oak Hill cemetery. vVe are indebted to Mr. G. W. Cha'k, of Ravenna, for the following sketch of Judge Kirby’s life: Judge Kirby is a descendant of the old fine of Kirbys who were among the first settlers of the United States, and many of the family have won honorj and distinction, some of its offspring living in nearly every state of the Union. Judge Kirby was the son of Richard Kirby who came to this country with Reuben Bryant, Major Toileson and others about the year 17‘Jd, from Virginia, and settled on both sides of Pacolet river. Rruben Bryant and Richard Kirby martied sisters Amy and Elizabeth Tolleson. The latter was the mother of Tolleson Kirby who married a daughter of Moses Wilkins, of Goucher creek. Some of your oldest readers remember the old store and homestead on the road now from Gaffney to Pacolet. Musicxl ut I.lmcMloiH* College.
